FAQs

Chiropractors are trained to see the entire population ranging from newborns and pregnant mothers to geriatric patients. Though the philosophy remains the same for each patient, chiropractors utilize techniques fitting each patient’s needs and body types.

According to The Gallup Organization, 65% million Americans suffer from chronic lower back pain. Fortunately, our team assists with back pain relief!

Chiropractors, by nature, are doctors who focus on the human nervous system. Chiropractors are also effective in treating many musculoskeletal issues that may manifest as extremity problems, back pain, neck pain, tension headaches, and other spine injuries. When it comes to proper back pain relief, our team at Health In Motion Chiropractic & Rehabilitative Services can help.

A chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled impulse of force to a spinal joint. The objective is to reposition a misaligned spinal joint to improve joint function, restore posture, and optimize neurological function. This allows the brain to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Patients will ideally find body and back pain relief.

In some cases, instant body or back pain relief following one or two adjustments is possible. However, as with most conditions, it takes time for the body to heal. Depending on the severity and duration, most conditions treated by chiropractors can be resolved within a six to 12-week care plan created by your physician, in our experience. If a proper resolution is not met, a referral to another provider can be made.

Chiropractors receive extensive training to adjust in a very specific location and direction to provide body and back pain relief. As a result, it is nearly impossible to recreate an accurate correction on your own or by an untrained individual.

It is common to believe that individuals only visit chiropractors when they are in pain. However, just like checkups for your dental health, it is important to get your spine assessed by a chiropractor periodically even if no symptoms are present. Wellness or maintenance care is an important preventative measure to assist in injury prevention and healthy functioning nervous system. Prevent the need to see us for back pain relief by scheduling frequent check-ups with our team at Health In Motion Chiropractic & Rehabilitative Services!
